University of Arizona student dies in fall at dorm

TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) — A University of Arizona freshman has died after he fell from a 20-foot cooling tower he was climbing on a dormitory roof.

Campus police say the fall by 19-year-old Michael Evan Anderson of Mission Viejo, Calif., appears to be an accident.

They say Anderson and another student scaled an exterior wall of a three-story residence hall before 4 a.m. Friday to get to the roof. The two then climbed the tower that houses a swamp cooler. The unidentified student told police that Anderson fell to the roof.
